PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A man was shot after an apparent argument over fast food in the city’s Northern Liberties section early Monday morning.

The two men were in a parked car near the intersection of 2nd and Callowhill Streets, eating fast food when an argument broke out over french fries, according to police.

The two men got out of the car, started fighting, and investigators say that’s when one of them pulled a gun and shot the other.

The victim was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital in critical condition.

Witnesses tell police the shooter drove off in a silver Mercedes.  The hunt continues for that car.

No word on what started the argument over the fries.

Prolly one of them felt threatened by the way the other was looking at his fries. Or perhaps they was sharing and someone sprinkled some magic crystals on those fries and cause them both to flip out. There just gotta be more to this story than was reported.

Wait . . . two guys are such dimwits that there’s a SHOOTING over French fries?! And then “the shooter drove off in a silver MERCEDES”?

Hey, one of the fellows needed his nourishment. He is reportedly 5’5″ tall and weighs approximately 250 pounds. He needs to maintain his weight.

You can’t rely on media sources nowadays for accurate reporting. Rumor has it that the controversy concerned salt, how much should be put on the french fries. It was a health issue. Ingestion of salt can be detrimental to your health.

Maybe they were feasting in honor of MLK’s birthday. Judge fries not by their color but by the amount of salt used. So close to MLK’s birthday, pepper should have been used rather than salt. It’s a racially based controversy. Obviously.

When will Al Sharpton waddle in? Jesse Jackson has emeritus status now and probably won’t participate in any protest. It is, however, without question the white establishment’s fault. The failure of America to abide by Michelle Obama’s cautions has affected the psyches of these gentlemen.

Will the fast food company be sued for serving french fries that evoke violent behavior. One way or another, we know that french fries kill people, either as a cause of controversy or by the slower method of clogging arteries.

Clearly, what is needed here is a French Fries Czar. I don’t know why no one here understands this. We need an overseer to monitor these incidents and determine causality, so that nothing like this ever happens again. Did this take place in a “food desert”? Were these men so hungry that one killed the other just for food? Oh, where, oh where were the Nutrition Police? So sad.

Mr. Peabody

First of all, there is a logical problem with this story – McDonalds does not serve fries until 10:30 AM, and the article says “early Monday morning”. So, was this some sort of a pre-dawn incident? Second of all, the police are obviously not telling the whole story – an “argument over french fries”? What is there to argue about? Saltiness? Two men in a silver Mercedes fighting to the death over french fries? Somebody must be kidding me. You just can’t believe anything in the media anymore.

There are 24 hour McDonalds that serve fries and burgers until 3am or so. I’ve got one down the street.

Anyway, eating fries early in the morning in a Mercedes while at least one is packing a gun. I’d be willing to bet these are just some street thugs. When you associate with trouble, you get trouble. To bad they didn’t shoot eachother.

Is it possible that the blacks you encountered were usually criminal types? I know plenty of blacks who could quite safely own a gun and only use it for self defense. I live in a community that is about 1/3 black, 1/3 white and 1/3 Mexican. Do you think being a policeman has skewed your vision since you probably spent more time with criminals than law abiding citizens? By the way, I am a conservative, not a liberal. I own a gun and I believe in gun rights. I also know, as you should, that there are lots of people who shouldn’t have guns, black, white and otherwise but if they want them, they can get them quite easily.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

I’ll bet the victim didn’t get a “shot” of catsup with his fries.

So, the guy with gun gave him one!

Dontcha wonder what they demographics of this case are? No pictures, so it probably means the perpetrators were Caucasian…

Only POT could make a man that hungry…. This along with the AZ shooter are just more proof that POT KILLS ;)

Funny how the same people that want to say “guns don’t kill, people do”. Want to say “pot kills”.

Ward Tipton

I would agree with you to the extent that the law may be questionable … but your logic is flawed … by the same logic, how does someone decry the ability of someone to smoke “killer” cigarettes in bars or in their homes while demanding the right to smoke weed anywhere they please? How can a plastic bag be evil but (oil/petroleum) based condoms should be handed out freely only to be disposed of in the same landfills those plastic bags are “destroying” … and on and on?

Where was MoochElle Obama? She’s always looking for another freebie handout she hasn’t earned.

Dude – you think Moochelle cares? She’s probably on vacation or jet-setting with her entourage of freeloaders, courtesy of the American taxpayer. And when she goes shopping, it’s not in the US.

Blacks killing blacks – when not for drugs, for shoes and now french fries. I’m sure this upstanding citizen bought the Mercedes with clean money as well.

I wonder if Sarah Palin ever targeted French Fries? No wait. It was Michelle Obama who targeted fast food. And the City of San Francisco.

January 17, 2011 at 9:39 am

Pat W.

Quick…..blame Palin!!!!

January 17, 2011 at 9:38 am

No doubt they were serving those vitriolic style french fries; you know, the kind Sarah Palin and Tea Partiiers like to eat. The next time someone asks “Do you want fries with that?”, be careful how you answer because there really is a vast right-wing conspiracy going on here.

My ex-girlfriend lives within 3/4 mile of that spot. She is always talking about how great the neighborhood is… around the time of one of my last visits Sabina O’Donnell was murdered, for her bicycle, even closer to her place but the other direction, to the north, near Girard.

We should pass a law to ban french fries, this violence has to stop.

Probably a friendly healthcare discussion gone bad when the gunman realized McDonald’s was one of over 250 Companies, plus Unions, Federal workers including Congress & illegal aliens exempted from ObamaCare.

It wasn’t french fries….it was a bag of chitterlings.

I’ve heard that fast food is bad for your health….

January 17, 2011 at 8:58 am

Is it 2012 yet

People get shot for sun glass’s, coats and shoes so why not French Fries? or maybe the guy was trying to prevent the other guy from getting FAT so he would not have to pay higher taxes for the other guys medical coverage.

January 17, 2011 at 8:55 am

Ahhh, so they are searching for the shooter to award him a Peoples Commendation for cost sutting measures.

>McDonalds French Fries. They’re really that good.

Not since they eliminated trans-fats.

I’m sure they were very good fries.
